DUBAI, UAE, Feb. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — In an unexpected announcement, the Portuguese Government has now confirmed that the comprehensive changes being made to the country’s ever-popular Golden Visa program will be postponed until 1 January 2022.

  • From 1 January 2022, no residential property in Lisbon and Porto will be considered applicable for the Golden Visa program, but will still be offered on commercial properties.
  • The 20% price reduction on residential properties in need of restoration in Lisbon and Porto will no longer be available. However, it will still be offered on properties used for non-residential purposes.

Volta Trucks selects Proterra to supply the vehicle battery for the full-electric Volta Zero

LONDON and BURLINGAME, Calif., Feb. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Volta Trucks, the full-electric commercial vehicle manufacturer, has selected Proterra, a leading innovator in commercial vehicle electrification technology, as the battery supplier for the Volta Zero. The Volta Zero is the world’s first purpose-built, full-electric 16-tonne commercial vehicle designed specifically for inner city freight distribution.

<div class="PRN_ImbeddedAssetReference"…

LONDON and BURLINGAME, Calif., Feb. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Volta Trucks, the full-electric commercial vehicle manufacturer, has selected Proterra, a leading innovator in commercial vehicle electrification technology, as the battery supplier for the Volta Zero. The Volta Zero is the world’s first purpose-built, full-electric 16-tonne commercial vehicle designed specifically for inner city freight distribution.

This significant contract completes Volta Trucks’s strategic sourcing of the electric powertrain. Volta Zero vehicles are scheduled to start customer trials later in 2021, with tens of thousands of trucks expected on the roads soon after series production starts around 12 months later.

The Proterra-supplied battery will give the Volta Zero a real-world range of 200kms on a single charge. This distance is more than enough for most inner city logistics and distribution vehicles which spend most of their operating time in slow-moving start / stop traffic. The Proterra battery pack delivers industry-leading energy density and a customizable design. This allows the battery in the Volta Zero to be located between the chassis rails – its safest possible location for the design.

The collaboration represents US-based Proterra’s entry into the European truck market. Proterra’s battery technology has been proven over 17 million miles driven by its own transit vehicles and has also been chosen by other world-class commercial vehicle manufacturers to electrify delivery vans, school buses, coaches, low-floor shuttles, and construction equipment.

Proterra batteries feature passive and active safety features, liquid thermal conditioning, and adheres to state-of-the-art functional safety standards, including ISO 26262 (up to ASIL C). The Proterra battery is designed to deliver over 4,000 recharge cycles over 10 years, without significant degradation, to ensure the longevity of the vehicle.

Jack Allen, Proterra Chief Executive Officer, said; «Embracing clean, quiet transportation for all not only benefits how we move people around cities and towns, but also how we provide goods and services to the communities we live in. Proterra is excited to work with Volta Trucks as we accelerate the transition to 100% clean transportation and deliver Proterra Powered clean energy vehicles to communities across Europe.»

Gareth Joyce, President of Proterra Powered and Energy, added; «Proterra and Volta Trucks share a common vision of clean, healthy communities served by zero-emission, electric vehicles. We look forward to building our relationship together as we support Volta Trucks in the development of the revolutionary Volta Zero commercial vehicle.»

Chief Executive Officer of Volta Trucks, Rob Fowler, concluded; «I’m delighted to welcome Proterra – a world-class innovative engineering partner – to the supply chain for the Volta Zero. When talking to our extensive group of customers, vehicle range is uppermost in their minds as it sits at the heart of the vehicle’s ability to deliver for them. It was therefore imperative that we work with an industry-leader to ensure the quality, longevity, and safe performance of the battery. Proterra’s cutting-edge but well-proven battery technology perfectly delivers all of this for us and our customers.»

About the Volta Zero.
The Volta Zero is the world’s first purpose-built full-electric 16-tonne vehicle designed for inner-city freight deliveries, reducing the environmental impact of freight deliveries in city centres. Designed from the ground up with an operating pure-electric range of 150 – 200 kms (95 – 125 miles), the Volta Zero will eliminate an estimated 180,000 tonnes of CO2 by 2025.

Safety is also at the heart of Volta Trucks, with its ambition of being the safest large commercial vehicle manufacturer. The Volta Zero was designed for electric from the outset, which facilitates a step-change in vehicle, driver and pedestrian safety. Thanks to the removal of the internal combustion engine, the operator of a Volta Zero sits in a central driving position, with a much lower seat height than a conventional truck. This combination, plus a glass house-style cab design, gives the driver a wide 220-degrees of visibility, minimising dangerous blind spots.

The prototype Volta Zero was launched in September 2020, with the first vehicles expected to be operating with customers in late 2021.

About Proterra
Proterra is a leader in the design and manufacture of zero-emission electric transit vehicles and EV technology solutions for commercial applications. With industry-leading durability and energy efficiency based on rigorous U.S. independent testing, Proterra products are proudly designed, engineered and manufactured in America, with offices in Silicon Valley, South Carolina, and Los Angeles.

ANN ARBOR, Mich., 17 de febrero de 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Domino’s Pizza, Inc. (NYSE: DPZ), la empresa de pizza más grande del mundo basada en ventas minoristas globales, está orgulloso de anunciar que sus tiendas corporativas y franquicias a lo largo del país se unieron para recaudar la cantidad récord de $13 millones para apoyar a St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital en 2020.

The Domino's Village at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is expected to open its doors to patient families in spring 2023.

La campaña es parte del compromiso que Domino’s hizo en septiembre de 2020 de recaudar $100 millones para 2030. Mientras los clientes y los miembros del equipo estaban recaudando fondos para un primer año fuerte del nuevo compromiso, los preparativos empezaron para iniciar la construcción de The Domino’s Village, una nueva instalación de vivienda para pacientes que las familias de St. Jude pueden llamar hogar mientras sus hijos reciben atención que les salva la vida del cáncer infantil y otras enfermedades potencialmente mortales. Se espera que The Domino’s Village abra sus puertas en la primavera de 2023. Para escuchar a las familias de los pacientes acerca del impacto que representa la vivienda en St. Jude, ve este nuevo video sobre The Domino’s Village: http://bit.ly/The-Dominos-Village.

Más de $10.2 millones de los fondos fueron otorgados por donantes generosos durante la campaña anual de St. Jude Thanks and Giving®. La campaña, que duró 11 semanas del 19 de octubre de 2020 al 3 de enero de 2021, fue la 17a campaña de St. Jude Thanks and Giving. Domino’s ha participado en la campaña desde el año inaugural. Antes de la campaña de 2020, Domino’s le dio la oportunidad a los clientes de redondear el total de su pedido y donar el cambio a St. Jude. Este año, el redondeado sumó más de $2.8 millones.

«Durante un año particularmente difícil, estoy asombrado por la generosidad de los clientes de nuestra marca durante la campaña anual de St. Jude Thanks and Giving«, comentó Ritch Allison, director ejecutivo de Domino’s. «La cantidad récord de fondos recaudado en las tiendas este año dice mucho no sólo sobre la dedicación de los miembros del equipo y los clientes de Domino’s, también sobre el trabajo innovador realizado por St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.»

El compromiso de Domino’s de $100 millones es el compromiso corporativo más grande en la historia de St. Jude. The Domino’s Village será un hogar lejos de casa para las familias de los pacientes de todo el mundo que son referidos a St. Jude, ofreciéndoles espacios agradables para vivir, comer y jugar.

St. Jude brinda tratamiento a niños con cáncer y otras enfermedades relacionadas que amenazan la vida en todo el mundo. Los descubrimientos hechos en St. Jude son compartidos libremente, por lo que cada niño salvado en St. Jude significa que los médicos y científicos pueden usar ese conocimiento para salvar a miles de niños más alrededor del mundo. Además de alojamiento y comida, St. Jude cuenta con área de aprendizaje y otros servicios para los pacientes y sus familias. Las familias nunca reciben una factura de St. Jude por tratamiento, viaje, hospedaje o alimentación – porque la única preocupación de un padre debe ser ayudar a su hijo a vivir.

ANN ARBOR, Mich., Feb. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Domino’s Pizza, Inc. (NYSE: DPZ), the largest pizza company in the world based on global retail sales, is proud to announce that its corporate and franchise-owned stores across the country joined forces to raise a recording-breaking $13 million to support St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in 2020.

The Domino's Village at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is expected to open its doors to patient families in spring 2023.

The campaign follows the commitment Domino’s made in September 2020 to raise $100 million by 2030. As customers and team members were raising funds for a strong first year of the new commitment, preparations began to start construction on The Domino’s Village, a brand new patient housing facility for St. Jude families to call home while their children receive lifesaving care for childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. The Domino’s Village is expected to open its doors in spring 2023. To hear from patient families on the impact of housing at St. Jude, watch this brand-new video on The Domino’s Village: http://bit.ly/The-Dominos-Village.

More than $10.2 million of the funds came from generous donors during the annual St. Jude Thanks and Giving® campaign. The campaign, which ran for 11 weeks starting on Oct. 19, 2020, through Jan. 3, 2021, was the 17th consecutive St. Jude Thanks and Giving. Domino’s has participated in the campaign since the inaugural year. Prior to the 2020 campaign, Domino’s offered the opportunity for customers to round up their order total and donate the change to benefit St. Jude. This year, the round up totaled more than $2.8 million.

«During a particularly challenging year, I am in awe of the generosity of our brand’s customers during the annual St. Jude Thanks and Giving campaign,» said Ritch Allison, Domino’s CEO. «The record number of funds raised in stores this year speaks volumes about not only the dedication of Domino’s team members and customers, but also the groundbreaking work done by St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.»

Domino’s $100 million pledge is the largest corporate commitment in the history of St. Jude. The Domino’s Village will be a home away from home for patient families who are referred to St. Jude from all over the world, offering them enjoyable living, dining and play spaces.

St. Jude treats children with cancer and other life-threatening diseases around the globe. Discoveries made at St. Jude are shared freely so every child saved at St. Jude means doctors and scientists can use that knowledge to save thousands more children around the world. In addition to housing and food, St. Jude offers an on-site education and numerous other services for patients and their families, who never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food – because all a parent should worry about is helping their child live.

Volta Trucks selects Proterra to supply the vehicle battery for the full-electric Volta Zero

LONDON and BURLINGAME, Calif., Feb. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Volta Trucks, the full-electric commercial vehicle manufacturer, has selected Proterra, a leading innovator in commercial vehicle electrification technology, as the battery supplier for the Volta Zero. The Volta Zero is the world’s first purpose-built, full-electric 16-tonne commercial vehicle designed specifically for inner city freight distribution.

<div class="PRN_ImbeddedAssetReference"…

LONDON and BURLINGAME, Calif., Feb. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Volta Trucks, the full-electric commercial vehicle manufacturer, has selected Proterra, a leading innovator in commercial vehicle electrification technology, as the battery supplier for the Volta Zero. The Volta Zero is the world’s first purpose-built, full-electric 16-tonne commercial vehicle designed specifically for inner city freight distribution.

This significant contract completes Volta Trucks’s strategic sourcing of the electric powertrain. Volta Zero vehicles are scheduled to start customer trials later in 2021, with tens of thousands of trucks expected on the roads soon after series production starts around 12 months later.

The Proterra-supplied battery will give the Volta Zero a real-world range of 200kms on a single charge. This distance is more than enough for most inner city logistics and distribution vehicles which spend most of their operating time in slow-moving start / stop traffic. The Proterra battery pack delivers industry-leading energy density and a customizable design. This allows the battery in the Volta Zero to be located between the chassis rails – its safest possible location for the design.

The collaboration represents US-based Proterra’s entry into the European truck market. Proterra’s battery technology has been proven over 17 million miles driven by its own transit vehicles and has also been chosen by other world-class commercial vehicle manufacturers to electrify delivery vans, school buses, coaches, low-floor shuttles, and construction equipment.

Proterra batteries feature passive and active safety features, liquid thermal conditioning, and adheres to state-of-the-art functional safety standards, including ISO 26262 (up to ASIL C). The Proterra battery is designed to deliver over 4,000 recharge cycles over 10 years, without significant degradation, to ensure the longevity of the vehicle.

Jack Allen, Proterra Chief Executive Officer, said; «Embracing clean, quiet transportation for all not only benefits how we move people around cities and towns, but also how we provide goods and services to the communities we live in. Proterra is excited to work with Volta Trucks as we accelerate the transition to 100% clean transportation and deliver Proterra Powered clean energy vehicles to communities across Europe.»

Gareth Joyce, President of Proterra Powered and Energy, added; «Proterra and Volta Trucks share a common vision of clean, healthy communities served by zero-emission, electric vehicles. We look forward to building our relationship together as we support Volta Trucks in the development of the revolutionary Volta Zero commercial vehicle.»

Chief Executive Officer of Volta Trucks, Rob Fowler, concluded; «I’m delighted to welcome Proterra – a world-class innovative engineering partner – to the supply chain for the Volta Zero. When talking to our extensive group of customers, vehicle range is uppermost in their minds as it sits at the heart of the vehicle’s ability to deliver for them. It was therefore imperative that we work with an industry-leader to ensure the quality, longevity, and safe performance of the battery. Proterra’s cutting-edge but well-proven battery technology perfectly delivers all of this for us and our customers.»

About the Volta Zero.
The Volta Zero is the world’s first purpose-built full-electric 16-tonne vehicle designed for inner-city freight deliveries, reducing the environmental impact of freight deliveries in city centres. Designed from the ground up with an operating pure-electric range of 150 – 200 kms (95 – 125 miles), the Volta Zero will eliminate an estimated 180,000 tonnes of CO2 by 2025.

Safety is also at the heart of Volta Trucks, with its ambition of being the safest large commercial vehicle manufacturer. The Volta Zero was designed for electric from the outset, which facilitates a step-change in vehicle, driver and pedestrian safety. Thanks to the removal of the internal combustion engine, the operator of a Volta Zero sits in a central driving position, with a much lower seat height than a conventional truck. This combination, plus a glass house-style cab design, gives the driver a wide 220-degrees of visibility, minimising dangerous blind spots.

The prototype Volta Zero was launched in September 2020, with the first vehicles expected to be operating with customers in late 2021.

About Proterra
Proterra is a leader in the design and manufacture of zero-emission electric transit vehicles and EV technology solutions for commercial applications. With industry-leading durability and energy efficiency based on rigorous U.S. independent testing, Proterra products are proudly designed, engineered and manufactured in America, with offices in Silicon Valley, South Carolina, and Los Angeles.

About Volta Trucks.
Volta Trucks is a start-up full-electric goods vehicle manufacturer and services company. Volta Trucks has offices in Sweden, France and the UK and is partnering with a number of global leaders in the supply chain for the development and production of the Volta Zero.

Prior to the 2020 campaign, Domino’s offered the opportunity for customers to round up their order total and donate the change to benefit St. Jude. This year, the round up totaled more than $2.8 million.

«During a particularly challenging year, I am in awe of the generosity of our brand’s customers during the annual St. Jude Thanks and Giving campaign,» said Ritch Allison, Domino’s CEO. «The record number of funds raised in stores this year speaks volumes about not only the dedication of Domino’s team members and customers, but also the groundbreaking work done by St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.»

Domino’s $100 million pledge is the largest corporate commitment in the history of St. Jude. The Domino’s Village will be a home away from home for patient families who are referred to St. Jude from all over the world, offering them enjoyable living, dining and play spaces.

St. Jude treats children with cancer and other life-threatening diseases around the globe. Discoveries made at St. Jude are shared freely so every child saved at St. Jude means doctors and scientists can use that knowledge to save thousands more children around the world. In addition to housing and food, St. Jude offers an on-site education and numerous other services for patients and their families, who never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food – because all a parent should worry about is helping their child live.

Advancing Cyberinfrastructure and Research Readiness Survey Results: Broadband Infrastructure Support, Workforce Development are Key Issues Facing Minority-Serving Institutions

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. and WASHINGTON, Feb. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — A nationwide survey conducted in December 2020 by the <a target="_blank"…

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. and WASHINGTON, Feb. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — A nationwide survey conducted in December 2020 by the Minority Serving-Cyberinfrastructure Consortium (MS-CC) in collaboration with Internet2 determined that there is a strong need for broadband infrastructure support and to prioritize workforce training and development investments for minority-serving institutions, including historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving institutions (HSIs), and tribal colleges and universities (TCUs).

The survey is part of a national effort to help minority-serving institutions advance the STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), health, social science, and humanities education and research priorities that call for increased access to and use of data management and computing resources by the higher education community.

«These are issues that we were all well aware of within the consortium but being aware of them is not enough, we have to start doing something,» said Dr. Damian Clarke, chief information officer at Alabama A&M University, and a member of the MS-CC leadership council. «There is an immediate present need for broadband infrastructure across all minority-serving institutions. When we talk about broadband, this includes broadband that connects an institution and broadband that is distributed via wired and wireless connections across the campus.»

The survey results, released during a webinar on Feb. 3, include participation by 49 of the 101 HBCUs, 63 of the 539 minority-serving institutions, and 32 of the 38 TCUs in the American Indian Higher Education Consortium. A diverse range of professions completed the survey, including educators, researchers, cyberinfrastructure professionals, senior administrative leaders, students, leaders and staff in not-for-profits, STEM support organizations, and representatives of government agencies.

«The idea behind the survey is to provide access to data that will improve proposals that minority-serving institutions make to the funding agencies,» said Bobby Clark, director, CCIT procurement and vendor management, Clemson University. «Now we have empirical evidence to really focus on those items.»

Among the survey’s most significant findings is that connectivity, equipment, security, and access to technology were the most valued priorities that respondents favored to support the goals and objectives of research programs at minority serving institutions. Data storage, data management, and data analytic were a close second in helping institutions meet their data and research computing goals.

«A common need for all our colleges is the actual infrastructure, the hardware and connectivity, without which you can’t stand up the kinds of data, computing services, and resources that are universally being identified as essential to supporting advanced science and engineering and mathematics,» said Al Kuslikis, senior associate for strategic initiatives, American Indian Higher Education Consortium. «That infrastructure also includes data storage, data management and data analytics. The actual use of the infrastructure to inform data driven decision making and to deliver programming in research computing across all disciplines.»

Additional findings include strong support for collaboration and engagement among minority-serving institutions, the need for accessible and responsible data infrastructure for campus operations, and strong potential for data and computing to advance issues central to community culture and societal disparities.

«Collaboration is a key indicator among all respondents,» said Dr. Deborah Dent, chief information officer at Jackson State University, and a member of the MS-CC leadership council. «It’s not just the equipment, it’s also the people. It is important that our cyberinfrastructure professionals are able to communicate with each other and build a coalition to advocate for our needs as a group. There’s strength in numbers.»

WayMark Analytics, a social impact company that conducts mission-driven stakeholder mapping surveys, developed the MS-CC survey and analyzed the results.
